They then prepared to return to the cave, but had not proceeded many yards, when Herne, mounted on his sable steed, burst through the trees. "Ah! what make you here?" he cried, instantly checking his career. "I bade you keep a strict watch over Mabel. Where is she?" "She has escaped with Sir Thomas Wyat," replied Fenwolf, "and we have been in search of them."
Fox of Spring! Appear! Like a grass blade, here Stand before me!" The horse bounded till the ground shook; from his ears rose a column of steam, and from his nostrils issued flames; but when he came up to Bulat he stood still. Then Bulat the Brave Companion mounted the horse, and Ivan Tsarevich seated himself upon his steed, and so they rode forth from the courtyard.
We have frightened various horses to-day; a quiet old gray steed, driven by two old ladies in black bonnets. They were too old to get out, and were driving their horse timidly and nervously into the ditch in their anxiety to give us all the road. However, we slowed up and the horse didn't look as if he could run away.

The falcon lighted on a pine tree that grew alone. The King's Son rode up and put his hands to the tree to climb and put his head against it, and as he did he heard speech from the tree.
Though I am a feeble old soldier, I will follow you on the back of my steed. Following the publication of this manifesto a general movement of troops began. On the 5th July the important Peking-Tientsin railway was reported interrupted forty miles from the capital at Langfang which is the station where Admiral Seymour's relief expedition in 1900 was nearly surrounded and exterminated.

"I understood," exclaimed de Spain, following his doubtful advantage, "you lived out this way." "I live near Music Mountain," returned Nan somewhat ungraciously, using her own skill at the same time to walk her horse away from her unwelcome companion. "I've heard of Music Mountain," continued de Spain, urging his lagging steed. "I've often wanted to get over there to hunt."
